How To Change Custom Post Type Slug In WordPress | Scratch Code
Sometimes, WordPress users want to change custom post type slug instead of the default one. In such a case, we will show you the right and good way to do
I just want to change domain.com/tour/hongkong to domain.com/rute/hongkong.
I have tried using Visual Studio Code, changing "tour" to "rute" using the find and replace menu and the slug was successfully replaced, but the single post type rute is blank.
Can you help me?
The following snippet will do it for you. Remember to check the post type/taxonomy actual name hovering the menu item of it on WordPress admin dashboard (E.g: yoururl.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=XXXXXX..., yoururl.com/wp-admin/edit.php?taxonomy=XXXXXX...).
PHP:
// PHP 8.x syntax: function changePostTypesSlug( array $args, string $postType ): array {
function changePostTypesSlug( $args, $postType ) {
switch($post_type) {
case 'YOUR_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE':
// Changing the slug
$args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'YOUR_NEW_SLUG';
break;
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'changePostTypesSlug', 10, 2 );
// PHP 8.x syntax: function changeTaxonomiesSlug( array $args, string $taxonomy ): array {
function changeTaxonomiesSlug( $args, $taxonomy ) {
switch($taxonomy) {
case 'YOUR_CURRENT_TAXONOMY':
// Here you can also change the labels easily
$args['labels'] = [
'name' => 'Categories',
'singular_name' => 'Category',
'search_items' => 'Search Category',
'all_items' => 'All Categories',
'parent_item' => 'Category parent',
'parent_item_colon' => 'Category parent:',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Category',
'update_item' => 'Update Category',
'add_new_item' => 'New Category',
'new_item_name' => 'New Category',
'menu_name' => 'Categories'
];
// Changing the slug
$args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'YOUR_NEW_SLUG';
break;
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_taxonomy_args', 'changeTaxonomiesSlug', 10, 2 );After doing this, just update your permalinks and it will work perfectly. Also, if you're not using custom code snippets actually, I suggest the WP Code plugin to manage it.
This snippet was tested and used on some projects so, 100% working.

The code solution provided by @kalil is also viable and does the thing.
If you're looking for a more user-friendly, no-code solution:
- Install and activate the Custom Post Type UI free plugin.
- Go to CPT UI - Add/Edit Post Types menu >Edit Post Types tab (left img
)
- Select post type you want to change from the dropdown on the new tab
- Edit what you need and save
To migrate the current posts and their content be sure to check the box before Migrate posts to newly renamed post type?
MAKE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING BELOW THE SLUG INPUT FIELD
It's spelled "route" , not "rute" in English
- Go to Settings > Permalinks menu (right img ) and click "Save Changes" to trigger a permalink refresh.
Personally, I would create new post type, export all existing posts from the current post type and re-import them to my the fresh one. This is a cleaner solution and it's completely independent of any current or future theme code or settings that work with it's own registered CPT.
Highly recommended
USE A CHILD THEME FOR ALL CUSTOM WORK THAT MODIFIES THEME CONTENT/STRUCTURE. This is useful to prevent potential conflicts and overwrites caused by future theme updates.
For example: If you use VS Code to search and replace in the theme-folder, all your changes will be overwritten when you update the theme.
Good luck !

. Sorry not mention something more user-friendly also but, @unusual_research make a good one here for us!
Well, I'd still create a completely new custom post type and work it from there. But that depends on the theme OP is using.Thanks for the addict and pretty sure, that's one of some more user friendly alternatives! Just shared the code because it's on my "favorites list" for needs on my projects
Probably the theme has some pre-designed modules hardcoded for that particular custom post type it registers or something.
If that's the case, the theme is not worth it so I don't see any reason not to go for a new one
